New projects

I got the cutest panel at my LQS for Valentine's Day... it actually says Happy Valentine's Day on the bottom, but I don't think I'll keep it. They had a sample in the store that had patchwork around it, and I'm sure I will do something around it too. I don't have any quilts for Valentine's, so I couldn't pass it up! I also decided to try the Don't Look Now Quilt Along block! I've been contemplating for a while, and now that the holidays are over, I figured why not? I just bought a lot of background for my stash (Kona white), and a slew of Kaffe's pinks, blues and purples to add to my ever growing stash! I'll post a picture once I get them prepped. I bought a stabilizer, but it isn't fusible, so it doesn't work quite how I had hoped. I ordered the Floriani Fusible recommended by Kellie, and hopefully it will arrive soon. Oh, and I just love my new cutting mat! It was only $19 at Joann's, and it's the largest one I've have now: 24x36 ~ and of course I love that it's pink!

  7. cute panel.
    I have the same cutting mat. I like that brand too. It seems to last longer than the dark green one I had. Can't remember the brand.
